  • This is an incredibly important story that needed telling and I'm glad there were lots of interviews with victims and the police who tried to put a stop to the horrific behaviour much earlier than it really ended. The narration was strong. more

  • Thankyou for letting the truth out

    It’s an important story that needed telling, but sad and tragic. Lots of interviews with the victims and the police that tried in vein to prosecute. Thanks to the victims for speaking out. Only criticism is the sound is a bit low, hard to hear, especially episode 3.

  • A shocking exposure of Police Corruption in the highest levels of the Victorian Police. Thousands of children were abused and the abusers were protected by police. Truly shocking!
